The Marvel star shared a video of his progress as he walked on the treadmill as part of his physical therapy following his snowplow accident on New Year's Day.

Jeremy Renner is on the mend after a snowplow accident left him hospitalized with over 30 broken bones on New Year's Day.

The twice Oscar nominated actor best known for playing Clint Barton/Hawkeye in MCU films and the Disney+ series of the same name was airlifted to a hospital after he was rolled over by his “at least 14,330-pound” snow plow near his Reno, Nevada property on January 1, 2023.


On Sunday morning, the Avengers actor updated fans on making significant strides during physical therapy by posting a video of himself using an anti-gravity treadmill.

In the clip, Renner explained to another individual not on camera that using the hi-tech unit enabled his legs to walk by using "less weight" and it was like "having a cane." Due to other injuries use of a cane isn't possible at this time.

He confirmed he was going through the actual motion of walking but only using "40% of my weight."

The video was captioned with:

"I now have to find OTHER things to occupy my time so my body can recover from my will."

It was followed with the hashtags: #mindful #intended and #recovery.

Here is the clip of the Marvel actor in action toward a path to recovery.

Anti-gravity treadmills like the one seen used by Renner contain NASA-patented technology to reduce as much as 80% body weight to enable athletes in training and medical patients alike to help achieve their personal health and performance goals.

These types of treadmills that control air pressure were originally designed for astronauts to exercise and maintain their conditioning while in space.

Social media users continued cheering Renner on for his hopeful progress and full recovery.









Those familiar with the physical therapy process were inspired to share their own stories.




Renner was rolled over by an "extremely large piece of snow-removal equipment" as he was clearing his driveway and helping neighbors remove snow after significant snowfall in the area.

His representative said the actor suffered "blunt chest trauma and orythopedic injuries" and underwent surgery the day after he was taken to a local hospital.

Since then, Renner has been updating fans on his recovery journey on social media–including with a post on January 21 in which he shared a photo of him in bed with a physical therapist who appeared to be working on his leg.

The Mayor of Kingstown and Rennervations star told fans at the time:

"Morning workouts, resolutions all changed this particular new years …. Spawned from tragedy for my entire family, and quickly focused into uniting actionable love."

After expressing his gratitude for all the support for him and thoughtfulness for his family, he added:

"These 30 plus broken bones will mend , grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
